Hi all!
I have a conure with flat feet and a cockatiel, both of whom prefer to eat on flat surfaces (like the floor of the cage). I got a large wooden platform to feed the disabled conure but the problem is, she poops on it :/
I made fleece covers for it that attach with velcro but the problem there is that it's so hard to keep up with changing them, washing them is a huge pain in the ass because if I don't pre-soak to loosen up the poop then my washing machine ends up caked in bird poop after the wash, etc etc. The fleece covers weren't the solution I'd hoped. And after I ran out of fleece covers and left the platform uncovered for a day last week there's now seeds and bird poop completely caked into the velcro and on the wood and UGH!
I was wondering what solutions people have contrived for ground feeding foraging birds, I was thinking of maybe lining a basket with paper towel and filling it with Nutriberries & foot toys and hanging that? Any ideas would be appreciated.
